See the building in the photo to the right? It’s MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Do you know or care what’s happening there Sunday? If not — it’s the Super Bowl showdown between the Denver Broncos and the Seattle Seahawks — Duo Restaurant in Denver has a deal for you.

During the Feb. 2 game, Duo is offering a three-course dinner for two for $48. Why $48? Because this is Super Bowl 48, or Super Bowl XLVIII for Roman numeral fans.

Not that I intend to miss the game on TV, but the lineup does look as potent as the one the Broncos will be fielding. Check it out:

Sailor asked me if I’d be interested in doing an online chat about our respective burgs, and I said yes. Behold, our back and forth.

Craig Sailor: Congratulations on dumping a bowl of hot clam chowder in the laps of the New England Patriots. What’s your prediction of Sunday’s game?

William Porter: Broncos vs. Seahawks is the matchup the fans deserve and it should be a great game. If the Broncos show up with their A game on both sides of the line, I think they might have the edge, especially if our defense can disrupt Russell Wilson or otherwise get in his head. But the Seahawks have scary balance and a terrific defense, so I’m not betting the house payment on the outcome. What’s your take?

CS: I predict there will be lots of beer drinking and overeating in both Colorado and Washington. Followed by a lot of indigestion in one of those states. Hopefully, Colorado.

WP: Does Seattle coach Pete Carroll ever try recruiting one of the fish-slingers from Pike Place Market? If they can hang on to a whole fish, I’m thinking they’d never fumble a football.

CS: You have it backwards. The fishmonger recruits from the NFL. It’s either that or they become motivational speakers.Read more…
